Wiki ICD-9 Guidelines for 10-1-12

[dballard2004]

Does anyone know if any new guidelines were released for ICD-9 effective 10-1-12? I am unable to locate them. Since there were not any changes to ICD-9-CM, Volumes 1 and 2 this year, were there any guideline changes?

Thanks.

There were no guideline changes, the most current set of guidelines is the 10-01-11.

No changes, really. Also, it's clarified in the front of the new book.

Note: There are no new or revised or deleted ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes effective for October 1, 2012. There are no revised or deleted ICD-9-CM procedure codes effective for October 1, 2012. ​

NEW PROCEDURE CODES Effective October 1, 2012 ​

The final addendum which describes all changes to the procedure part of ICD-9-CM is posted on CMS' webpage at: www.cms.hhs.gov/ICD9ProviderDiagnosticCodes.
